Its the grand final that needed to happen! For mine, the first quarter and half will tell where the game is at. If the cats control the centre square and inside 50's, the pies will lose by 8 goals. If its tight, and even in terms of time in forward half then it will be a classic.
For mine, Geelong are in form and playing great football. Collingwood have not had the pressure recently to hurt their opponents whilst our spread has been poor and individual players are not in form. Saying that, they showed that they were a champion team with some amazing efforts in the last quarter against the hawks. Whilst Cats are a bit stronger bodied, i would not be surprised if theres some fights early in this game as the Pies will be fired up.
interestingly, The cats are probly the only team in the league where it suits collingwood to have a low scoring game. The player who worries me the most in the Geelong team is Bartel. Hes a champion and would be my pick for the norm smith. Maxwell is a big in for the pies because he helps to organise the defense.
